The GreenTech idea reflects a simple but clear philosophy that goes back to our company principle: "Each new product that we develop has to be better than its predecessor in terms of economy and ecology."

Our objective was to sustainably train ecological awareness, responsible use of energy and maximum energy efficiency as constant focus of attention with our trainees. The idea was to not only get the topic of environmental protection introduced to the trainees directly involved with the project, but to rather have all trainees profit from this approach, as experience shows that trainee projects are intensively discussed among trainees.

The international effort across all of ebm-papst's global branches. This year's campaign started on 5 June to coincide with the United Nations' World Environment Day. Once more Employees take part to work towards a green future and show what they do every day to help the environment.
